E 30 30 @E39 E@ wrapping extends about both for convenience, the object being to e'eetually insulate the Contact strip and prevent injury thereto should the battery fail to Work perfectly.

.The course of the current is from the battery through the lamp, reflector and ease to the circuit closer, then through the Contact strip and the spring to the battery.

The operation is the same as with other lamps of this class. The circuit is closed by operation of the circuit closer to produce a iiasli which continues so long as the circuit remains closed. Kben the battery is exhausted, the parts of the ease are separated, the battery is thrown out and a new one placed iu part l1, no adjustment of contacts or of any parts being required.
